● Yesterday reappeared.
On December 23rd, 1952, Zhongrui Chi was born into a family of five generations of Peking Opera in Beijing. He was deeply influenced by the art of Peking Opera since childhood. However, Zhongrui Chi failed to take the road of Peking Opera in the end, for one thing, he was 1.80 meters tall, and for another, he caught up with the Cultural Revolution in China.
Although he didn’t enter Beijing Opera, the artistic edification he received since he was a child can’t be lost. Zhongrui Chi took a tortuous artistic path: first he worked as a farmer in Heilongjiang Construction Corps, and then he worked as a literary and art soldier in Yunnan. After he retired, he was admitted to China Broadcasting Art Troupe. Two years later, he was sent to Shanghai Theatre Academy to go to college and became the first batch of college students after the Cultural Revolution.
After graduation, Zhongrui Chi came to China TV production center and became a professional actor. He has shot a large number of film and television works, playing Du Mingguang in Golden Late Autumn. The second son Huan in "Love in the Pen"; Sun Shuikang, the leader of aquatic products in This is not a misunderstanding; Characters such as Sai Shang Xiao in Harbin at Night.
One day in 1984, Zhongrui Chi finished filming Harbin at Night and went back to the troupe to get his salary. In the dark corridor, he almost ran into an oncoming stranger, Yang Jie, the director of The Journey to the West.
At that time, The Journey to the West had just filmed half of it. Xu Shaohua, the actor of Tang Priest, had to leave the crew for some reason. Without the "master", the whole crew was in a state of downtime, and director Yang Jiezheng was so anxious about it that she met Zhongrui Chi.
"I have to say that this is the Buddha’s edge. When I passed by in the corridor, Yang Jie decided that I was the best candidate for Tang Priest. A week after we met, I put on my cassock and rode on Bai Longma. "
In 1988, The Journey to the West premiered in China, and the Tang Priest played by Zhongrui Chi was unanimously recognized by the audience. The four men became the most popular stars for a time, and attracted much attention wherever they went. However, at this moment, Zhongrui Chi chose to leave. He married Ms. Chen Lihua, the richest man in China, who was ten years older than him, and retired from the entertainment industry and started a new life.
Our reporter takes you to visit the new life in Zhongrui Chi.

Now they have bid farewell to their glory and started a new life. Show you their second life by comparing them. In this issue, the character-Zhongrui Chi is recorded.
"Late Chief" in Luxury Palace [nowadays]
At 9: 00 a.m. in a spring March, we arrived at the gate of China Red Sandalwood Museum on the northwest side of Gaobeidian Bridge in Beijing’s East Fourth Ring Road. Compared with the busy and congested streets in the morning rush hour, it was particularly spacious and deserted.
At the gate, a big boy wearing a security uniform just pushed out the wooden box for collecting tickets. Under his guidance, we bypassed the museum in front and came to the back. We walked past a stone bridge, and there was a building with more than ten floors. The exquisite decoration of the building made people think of the word "magnificent". Upstairs, in the middle of the building, the three golden characters "Lihua Pavilion" shine in the sun.
Walking into the interior of Lihua Pavilion, you will immediately feel the solemnity and luxury inside, just like walking into an ancient palace: there is a wide rosewood screen facing you, a huge and beautiful crystal chandelier overhead, all doors, windows and partitions are made of wood, with couplets and carved beams and painted buildings, and two elevators are hidden behind the antique wooden door frame, which makes people have to sigh the perfect combination of classical and modern.
This is a modern comprehensive building with a classical appearance, with office area, hotel, gym, swimming pool, KTV and so on.
We were taken into a reception room on the second floor. There are three floors in the room, which are still wooden doors, wooden windows and wooden floors. The outermost room is a rosewood screen, a plush chair and a mahogany long table, the second room is a circle of sofas and coffee tables, and the innermost room is a rosewood collapse. No sooner had we settled down in the plush chair than someone came in and poured tea.
After sitting for a moment, with the sound of footsteps coming from the corridor and the greeting of the staff, Zhongrui Chi came in. He was in a good mental state, flushed and with a gentle smile on his face. It is still the appearance of the Tang Priest in The Journey to the West in the past, and it is still a loud and magnetic voice. The opening remarks are: "As soon as you see this rosewood museum, you will understand what I have done since I left the audience for more than ten years, at a glance."
Why did Zhongrui Chi, who successfully shaped the role of Tang Priest in The Journey to the West, put aside his good performing career and open the rosewood museum instead? This has to start with his marriage.
